I was curious as to why in a DockPanel, if you set DockPanel.Dock="Left" -
it puts the object in the middle???

For example, I have 2 objects and one is .Dock="Top" and another that has
..Dock="Left". The 1st object is correctly at the top, but the next object
ends up in the middle.

<Window x:Class="FontViewer.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Font Viewer" Height="480" Width="600">
<DockPanel>
<Border DockPanel.Dock="Top"
CornerRadius="6"
BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="Gray"
Background="LightGray"
Padding="8"
Margin="0 0 0 8">
<TextBlock FontSize="14"
TextWrapping="Wrap">
Select a font to view from the list below.
You can change the text by typing in the region at the
bottom
</TextBlock>
</Border>
<ListBox x:Name="FontList"
DockPanel.Dock="Left"
ItemsSource="{x:Static Fonts.SystemFontFamilies}"
Width="160" />

</DockPanel>
</Window>

If I add a TextBlock with a DockPanel.Dock="Bottom", it doesn't go to the
bottom but to the right of the ListBox????

<Window x:Class="FontViewer.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Font Viewer" Height="480" Width="600">
<DockPanel>
<Border DockPanel.Dock="Top"
CornerRadius="6"
BorderThickness="1"
BorderBrush="Gray"
Background="LightGray"
Padding="8"
Margin="0 0 0 8">
<TextBlock FontSize="14"
TextWrapping="Wrap">
Select a font to view from the list below.
You can change the text by typing in the region at the
bottom
</TextBlock>
</Border>
<ListBox x:Name="FontList"
DockPanel.Dock="Left"
ItemsSource="{x:Static Fonts.SystemFontFamilies}"
Width="160" />
<TextBox x:Name="SampleText"
DockPanel.Dock="Bottom"
MinLines="4"
Margin="8 0"
TextWrapping="Wrap"
ToolTip="Type here to change the preview text.">

</TextBox>
</DockPanel>
</Window>

Thanks,

Tom

that's because the DockPanel uses the last element to fill the window by
default. Adding a ...
LastChildFill="False"
.... to the DP's properties will disable that behaviour.

BTW - this (an ASP.Net NG) is not the right place for WPF questions. You
might want to go to the WPF-forums:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpf/threads

Cheers,
Olaf

I couldn't find a newsgroup for WPF before.

I normally use msnew.microsoft.com but there doesn't seem to be a newsgroup
for wpf there.

They are normally microsoft.public.x and the closest I could find was
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

Thanks,

Tom

it seems that MS is sort of abandoning the NNTP-newsgroups. You won't find
any related to the "newer" technologies, hence you'll probably be bound to
use the forums instead. A shame, if you ask me.

I agree.

I have a problem with the forums because I can't remember which ones I am on
and I usually access them from different locations. I usually use outlook
express to access them and I can go directly to msnew.microsoft.com to see
all my messages.

Thanks,

Tom
